Wiggy hope your ok.

Post by Neon4Life » Sat Jul 09, 2011 8:54 am

so i was just over on srt forums and seen this ( see link below) its Wiggy yes shifties seller and vendor on here Wiggy. from what ive read and those who have posted and know him best say that theres no way that racing was involved and no way was alcohol involved so dont even post anything about being stupid and such until more information comes trough from him. im just posting this first before someone on here posts it and starts a thread about him being stupid. anyways thats all i know for now. leave negativity out because no one knows what truley happened until he speaks.

Nice post Manny (and I mean that). Wiggy is okay physically, but emotionally he has a tough battle ahead of him. His passenger died at the scene when he was ejected from the vehicle. Right now no one is certain, not even the police, what happened to cause him to veer off the road into oncoming traffic. But as Manny said, alcohol and street racing were not a factor.

May his passenger RIP, and my thoughts are with all of those involved and their families/friends.

Yup. I wonder what caused him to violently crash like that? Fly over a median?! Seriously!?

This is horrible news. :(

I imagine he'll be traumatized by this incident, even if it's not his fault.
I hope Wiggy comes out of this O.K.

He was having wheel/tire issues the week beforehand. No one really knows exactly what happened yet, not even the police.

I know his friends say he wasn't speeding, but the cops do.

I can't judge, I speed everyday and always enjoy a good highway pull.

So sad though, it will be real hard to get pass this but wiggy must understand, the passenger chose to not wear a seatbelt, so it's his own fault, not wiggy.

Cops consider 1MPH over the limit speeding, so it's hard to say how fast any suspected speeding actually was. Going over a median though...

I agree about the seatbelt. The passenger was not a child and, unfortunately, made a poor choice not to wear it. May he rest in peace and may God help both families through this difficult time.

Wow I'm sorry to hear about this. Wiggy was well-liked, especially on SRT forums. Glad he's going to be alright. Interested in hearing more details about what happened.

I just saw this on SRT Forums when I was searching for something via Google. I couldn't believe that it was the same Wiggy (didn't know if a person on the SRT forums shared the same username).

I hope he recovers quickly. I can't imagine how it's going to be for him to live knowing his friend died. My wife has a similar story about how her friend during HS lost control of his truck on a curve and shot off the road. Slammed into a tree, the engine got shoved through the firewall and killed her friend while my wife got ejected through the windshield and survived. Our son is named after her friend. I can only imagine the trauma that both my wife and Wiggy will have to deal with :(

Nice to see people over here being cordial about this. Wiggy is a great guy and I hope he can find some serenity down the road in what happened. Physically I can tell you Wiggy is OK. Mentally and emotionally, however, is a different story.

very sad, I heard about this early friday morning. I know that he is okay physically but I cannot imagine the battle he is about to have to mentally take on. May his passenger RIP and prayers and support go out to both families as well. :( :(

Thanks for that bit of information, Crystal.
What exactly were the 'wheel/tire' issues he was having ?? :?: An out of balance condition, or bent rim ??

Last week basically one of his tires totally came off the wheel itself as he was coming out of a parking lot. He had Facebook pictures of it and it was quite a sight to see. Having something like that happen on a freeway would be catastrophic. Again, that is speculation, though. That may not have played a role in the accident itself but it's been definitely considered given the fact that it happened a week earlier and he was on the same wheels/tires on Thursday night, albeit some fresh rubber on the one that dismantled itself.
